This photo was taken at Ofuna Flower Center, where I spotted a lotus flower peeking out slightly through the gaps in the leaves. I consciously captured the beauty of it blooming from nature's crevices.The Ofuna Flower Center in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a photogenic botanical garden renowned for its diverse flowers throughout the year. From spring tulips and cherry blossoms to early summer lotuses and hydrangeas, and summer cosmos and sunflowers, walking anywhere in the garden lets you feel the changing seasons and inspires you to take photos.The garden's three-dimensional flower beds make composing shots easy, while incorporating natural elements or architecture into the background adds another layer of appeal. Features like the lotus pond and the wind chime tunnel, which sway in the breeze, offer additional elements beyond flowers to enrich your photos. This makes it a spot enjoyable for everyone, from beginners to advanced photographers. While sunny days are ideal, overcast days also offer soft light that beautifully enhances the flowers' colors, making it a location less dependent on perfect shooting conditions.
